Laos is a country in Southeast Asia. Foreign tourists now begin to come looking for the "real Laos (老挝)", but few know what that is. For about 80% of the population (人口)are in villages, the best way to feel "real Laos" is to spend a night or two in a home stay.
During a home stay, you'll stay with a family, usually with two tourists each family. You'll take a bath before dinner, either in a nearby pool or river, or by using a scoop (勺子)to pour water over yourself.
Food will be simple, usually two dishes and sticky (黏的)rice. When we were in Laos, it was almost always been delicious, but in southern Laos we ate sticky rice 14 meals out of 15! Even if you don't enjoy the food, you should eat something or your host won't be pleased. Dinner is not usually served (供应)on table, and you always take off your shoes before entering the house.
Sleeping will be likely under a mosquito net (蚊帐)without a bed on the floor, and you might be waken up by some sound outside your window during the night.
It might not be comfortable but home stay is the "real Laos". Just remember that for most.villagers, dealing with (应付)tourists from other countries is pretty new and they are sensitive to your actions. Their warmth will last as long as their guests keep with them and accept (接受)them and their lifestyle without complaining (抱怨)too much.
( )57. We can learn that _______ from the underlined sentence in the passage.

B. People in Laos are always friendly to visitors.
C. Foreigners are always pleased with their home stay in Laos.
